Chapter Outline
I. The history of police [LO 1]
• The origins of U.S. police agencies, like that of criminal law, can be traced
to early English society.
• In the pledge system, tythings were entrusted to police their own minor
problems.

60
Chapter 5: Public Policing and Private Security

• Shires (counties) were controlled by the shire reeve who was a forerunner to
today’s sheriff.
• The watch system was created in the thirteenth century in England to
protect property.
• Watchmen patrolled at night and reported to a constable.
• In 1326 the office of the justice of the peace was created to assist the shire
reeve in controlling the county.

A. Private police and thief takers


1) Rising crime rates at the beginning of the 18th century encouraged
private police.
2) Private police, called thief takers, profited legally and illegally from
the lack of formal police departments.
3) Thief takers used violence
4) Henry Fielding sought to clean up the thief-taking system.
5) By the 19th century state police officers were needed.
B. The London Metropolitan Police
1) Helped pass the Metropolitan Police Act which established the first
police force in London.
2) This first police force was structure along military lines.
3) Early bobbies succumbed to corruption and were often influenced
by the wealthy.
4) Sir Robert Peel identified nine principles he felt should characterize
police forces:
a. Police exist to prevent crime and disorder
b. Police duties are dependent upon public approval of police
actions
c. Police must have willing cooperation of the public
d. Degree of public cooperation diminishes proportionately to
the necessity of the use of physical force
e. Police must demonstrate absolute impartial service to the law
f. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure
observance of the law or to restore order
g. The police are the public and the public are the police
h. Police should always direct their action strictly towards their
functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the
judiciary
i. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and
disorder

C. Law enforcement in Colonial America [LO 2]


1) Law enforcement paralleled the British model.
2) The sheriffs collected taxes, supervised elections, handled other
legal business, in addition to keeping the peace and fighting crime.
3) Sheriff did not patrol or seek out crime, but reacted to citizens’
complaints and investigated crimes that had occurred.
4) In the cities, law enforcement was the province of the town marshal
5) However, local governments had little power of administration
6) Enforcement of criminal law was largely an individual or
community responsibility.
7) In rural areas in the South, slave patrols charged with recapturing
escaped slaves were an early form of law enforcement.
8) There were also vigilantes who used force or intimidation to
eradicate social problems
9) The early 19th century was an era of widespread urban unrest and
mob violence.
10) Local leaders began to realize that a more structured police function
was needed to keep the peace.
D. Early police agencies
1) The modern police department was born out of the urban mob
violence that wracked the nation’s cities in the 19th century.
2) In the late nineteenth century, police work was highly desirable
because it paid more than most blue-collar jobs.
3) However, job security was uncertain because it depended on the
local political machine staying in power.
4) Police work was also considered primitive.
5) Early police lacked the technological advances present today and
were to maintain order while patrolling on foot, without backup or
the ability to summon backup.
6) Police were considered incompetent and corrupt.
7) The police role was to serve as the enforcement arm of the reigning
political power, thus creating tension between the police and the
public.
8) The first technological breakthroughs came in the area of
communications.
E. Twentieth-century reform [LO 3]
1) Reform included the takeover of some big-city police agencies by
state legislators and the creation of police administrative boards.
2) The Boston police strike of 1919 heightened interest in police
reform.
3) Public support however, turned against the police and the strike was
broken.
4) While commissions began to investigate the extent of crime and the
ability of the justice system to deal with it and made

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals
and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely
available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without


widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we


have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside
the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™


concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the
U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including


how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe
to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
